I started with the linux-2.6.18-xen-3.3.0 tarball, then made some edits, then rolled up my sources into a .tar.bz2. According to the Wiki I should be able to build using *my* version of the sources with the following commands: $ export XEN_LINUX_SOURCE=tarball $ make world but no matter what I try, I can't get it to build my source. Sometimes it wants to download the kernel.org tarball, and sometimes the build just fails, depending on what I try. I have Googled from horizon to horizon, but have not found any insight. If the above commands are expected to work, where exactly should my tarball be placed in relation to the xen-3.3.1 directory? Does my Linux tarball have to have a particular name? Thanks!
